LeBron’s points record was set with a mask and just 9 shots
Eight years ago on March 3, 2014, LeBron James was hitting 8 three-pointers and a total of 22 attempts per game for a career-high 61 points.
Recently, LeBron James became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer in regular-season and playoff points totals. There were many glorious nights on the way to this success. Some, of course, stand out. One of them, the most productive of his career, was that of March 3, 2014.
A member of the Heat, the King, had made an unprecedented showing against the Charlotte Bobcats a few months after winning their second title in Miami and the MVP Finals, nullifying every attempt at defense.
The fact that he wore a clear protective mask during the match (his black was banned) after a broken nose hitting Serge Ibaka in a previous match with the Thunder didn’t deter him at all. He may even have improved his visibility as it helped him stay focused on the goal and hardly lose effort with every accomplishment.
LeBron James was down 41’12” and finished the game with 61 points from 22/33 FG with 8/10 behind the three-point line. With a mathematical operation, it turns out that he only got 9 points from the line of fire, giving more dimension to his performance. An achievement combined with the imposing 127-104 of the heat.
James’ previous individual record was 56 points in a Cavaliers game in 2005. The same was true for Glen Rice’s franchise record in Miami history, which has been held since 1995.
“The basket looked like an ocean to his eyes“said Eric Spoestra immediately after the end of the game.”It was clearly a tremendous paceIn the third period alone, James had scored 25 points, in this final it was already 49.
LeBron’s impressive performance inspired the creation of a superhero mask in a Marvel sketch. It was a superhero night, that’s true, and she deserved it.
Since then, he’s only touched on the demolition of his career high once, when he loaded the Wizards basket with 57 points in a Cavaliers match on November 3, 2017.

Denver Nuggets announced Nikola Jokic He will miss at least four weeks due to left knee hyperextension.
The Serb is expected to miss all 18 matches in January and his maximum appearances this season could be limited to 64 matches. So Jokic will lose the opportunity to compete for the NBA’s main prizes – MVP and inclusion in the All-NBA, as this requires playing at least 65 games in the regular season.
Theoretically, he could return for the January 31 game against the Brooklyn Nets, which would give Nikola the opportunity to play 65 games before the end of the season, but that scenario is unlikely.
Jokic was injured in the last seconds of the first half of the match against Miami Heat (123:147) and did not return to the field after a long break. Before his injury, he managed to score 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes.
Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.

Denver Nuggets announced Nikola Jokic He will miss at least four weeks due to a left knee injury.
Star center was diagnosed with left knee hyperextension. At the same time, tests confirmed that the three-time NBA MVP’s knee ligaments remained intact.
Jokic was injured in the final seconds of the first half of the 123-147 loss to the Miami Heat and limped heavily on his way to the locker room. He did not return to the site after a long time.
Before his injury, Nikola managed to produce 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes on the field.
Losing Jokic could be a big blow for Denver, as starters Christian Braun (ankle injury), Aaron Gordon (hip issue) and Cam Johnson (knee injury) remain sidelined.
Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.
